Official Timberwolves vs Magic season opener thread!

I simply don't understand Adelman's deal. Shved is a freakin HORRIBLE player, yet he plays a ton and D-Will doesn't see a minute? Shved is simply not an NBA caliber player. For every good play he makes, he makes 5-6 horribly poor plays. I just don't get it.

Bringing the heat on your first post!! :thumb:

I don't think Williams has shown himself to bring anything more than Lexy does. Lexy makes some boneheaded plays but at least the offensive movement doesn't come to a screeching halt when he's in the game.

Couldn't agree more with how horrible Shved is. But Shved and DWill play different positions, so you can't really compare. If Cunningham was as bad as Shved, then it wouldn't make sense to sit DWill so much. But he's playing pretty good tonight, and we don't know what they're seeing in practice.

I got a bad feeling about this.

Yeah, the crunchtime lineup might need some work!

What happened to pek?

[tpoff217]

Why is Pek not playing? Hes been out most of the second half it seems like.

I used to post a ton on the ESPN site, just have yet to jump on this one.

And I don't disagree that D-Will is also erratic as heck...but I would say that he certainly has a much higher upside than Shved, thus he should see at least some playing time. This especially goes when Shved is playing so poorly.

They are beating us with size right now.

Looks like Pek is coming in. Good move, because Vukovic is a tough matchup for Love...

Can't be. Turiaf has played 16 minutes :furious:.
